Hi, I'm having trouble with my 250gb external drive.
I can copy files onto it fine, backed up all my music etc. but when I try to copy it back off I get an Error code -36 "Some of the data could not be read or written to".
I've tried formatting and re-formatting, writing zeros to the disk and tried formatting it to NTFS on a Windows PC but still no luck. Some very small files will copy off like text documents but that's about it.
I don't know if maybe upgrading to 10.5 will make any difference, just to make sure - I can definately upgrade to Leopard keeping all my files/settings?
Any help is much appreciated, thanks!
